Pastor and prolific Bible commentator Warren Wiersbe wrote in his Foreword to The Best of Times: "As I began to read this book, my first response was 'Delightful ' One minute I was laughing and the next minute I was furtively wiping away a few tears. But the longer I read, the more I found myself saying 'Insightful ' I guess balance is the word that best describes the contents of this book-spiritual insights and practical counsel, laughter and tears and lots of encouragement. I certainly need all of those things, and you probably do, too "With heartwarming vignettes, Vicki Huffman writes about all the times of our lives ("A time to be born and a time to die . . .") from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

Are you in the midst of your first job loss or have you been through this before? Maybe you've felt that losing your job is like a death in the family. That's normal. It's a big loss and there's a grieving process everyone goes through. Vicki Huffman and her husband went through that grieving process eight times over the years, so she's become an expert in a subject she'd rather know nothing about. In "Still Looking" Vicki gives practical advice learned from personal losses and the experiences of others who have lost jobs. She walks you through the grieving process. But, more importantly, she shares what books on how to get a job don't: how to have the peace of God even while you're still looking. It's a peace that the world doesn't give and can't understand, but it's available to fill your heart in the midst of loss. Vicki Huffman has been an editor for several national publishers and is the author of five books. She lives in Savannah, Georgia.
